I’ve been working with a new customer, Brad Charles, to construct a web site. I have to say that I don’t think I’ve met such a nice person in a long, long time. I want to give hm a little plug here! If you’re in the Southern Pines area and need equine (horse) fencing, please give him a call!

According to the Ohio State University Extension fact sheet on wisteria (Wisteria sinensis), it’s a member of the pea family! I think wisteria is a beautiful plant, but many here in NC think it’s a monster, because it devours its host. Around here, you see it everywhere, growing on any tree or structure it can find. I found this vine on some trees behind our office.
Another sure sign of spring (aside from the haze of yellow pine pollen currently engulfing us), are the blossoming of azaleas. These are in front of my house.
Buddy and I went to Martin Park in Southern Pines yesterday for a walk. He really had a great time, as you can see. Today is warmer and sunnier! I’ve been doing some chores in the house, but every chance I get, I’m going outside to soak up some sun. the forecast for the upcoming week indicates high temperatures in the 60s and even 70! The lows are creeping up too, with night time temperatures in the 40s and 50s. My favorite time of year is approaching. I predict that I’ll be getting the pool ready pretty soon.

Does anyone recognize this spider? It was on my back yard fence last weekend.
Sept. 29, 2009: I found out that this is a Silver-backed Argiope.
Is it even a spider? In the photo (from my phone), I can’t distinguish 8 legs.
One spider I found in my front yard is a black widow, I’m pretty sure. I didn’t handle it. I captured it in a jar and then let it go in some woods.
Cell phone cameras are really handy, but the image quality isn’t so great.

The Southern Pines (North Carolina) Fire Department raised a flag in memory of those who lost their lives in the attacks on 9/11/2001. I pulled over to take a picture. The flag hangs on the end of a ladder, which is extended out over Pennsylvania Avenue, near US 1.
